FRIDAY
Battlestar Galactica
"I'm a screwup, Lee. Try and keep that in mind." — Starbuck, in the Galactica quote of the hour
But well before that: Whoa... is this a beginning, or what? Starbuck in bed with Baltar, and calling out Apollo's name? Adama and his son beating the snot out of each other (albeit with gloves on), Galactica Boomer's eating a gun while Helo hauls off and shoots Caprica Boomer? All before the theme song, too.
And it's not bad enough that Baltar's got a Cylon living in his head, but now she's a jealous one who says she loves him, too? Uh... what about the little matter of your race trying to eradicate his? And you giving him a hint of what it would feel like to have his heart ripped out (literally), and smashing his face into the mirror, and...
"I wake up in the morning, and I wonder who I am," says Galactica Boomer. With you so far, ma'am. Who hasn't? "I wake up and wonder if I'm gonna hurt someone." OK, you lost me there, except for a few times on the freeway this week. Yeesh.
But hey, look! I'm pretty sure Starbuck's drinking from a Nalgene bottle there. I hike with them myself and never realized they came from our space brethren.
Also, I know I wrote recently that I thought Starbuck and Adama might have some buried heat (and maybe they do), but here comes the launch of a full-fledged love affair with Apollo, I'm now thinking. I mean, playful love taps, full-force punching each other in the face — what's the difference, really?
Anyway, I can say this is my favorite episode of the season despite serious competition from other weeks (the recent destruction of the Cylon mining operation comes to mind). Now, how fast can next week get here so I can see Part 2? — MP
